Good story, Not enough for a whole film
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
This is obviously evident, or evidently obvious that this crap from UK is a pure example of the new kind of British crime film industry and highly inspired from the early Quentin Tarantino's features. The new wave of the crime films that we find by batches since two decades now. Movies each one of them worst than the other, a sort of rivalry in crap, garbage race. The worst is not the lack of budget but the pretentious style, with complex stories used as decoys for the audience to forget the total dullness of those forgettable features. You may also find some HEAT inspiration too, especially during the heist sequence. I don't think that any one could be able to summarize correctly this non sense tale, this absurd corny film. This movie is although not the bottom of the garbage can. I have seen far far worse than this one. This kind of stuff could never be released in France, even straight to DVD releases. No way at all, no chance. Funny that the marksman character looks like Quentin Tarantino. Ha ha ha...
i personally loved the movie however it is more of a guilty pleasure as i can tell it isn't a 'good' movie on technical terms however i did find it amusing.I do not believe it is at all representative, realistic or possible i did find in extremely entertaining it was more of a guilty pleasure watch and there is some good British humor in there (sorry yanks you just wont understand). its funny violent and just a 'lads' movie to watch with a pizza. the 2 real negative comment i have is you can tell its a low budget movie what is disappointing as i fully believe with the right backing had potential to be great but my biggest criticism is i thought the movie was going to be about football hooliganism and the 'barmy army' but i think there might have been one reference to football throughout the whole movie which severely disappointed me
First off, it's got nothing at all to do with football hooliganism. There is one scene where one geeza' is telling a woman that he used to fight at football matches, but the fundamental part of the narrative is that there is a heist a guess what? It's only gone bloomin' wrong!!!And he's avin' a larf!!!That's the writer director that is. As you would expect,the film is the pits, and these films, like low budget horrors get released almost every other week here in the UK, the covers are more or less the same, and there is always some sort of scribing on the cover like 'the best British thriller since The Long Good Friday' to get the working class man worked up.But it's like the director has watched too much Tarantino and Guy Ritchie movies and tried to do his own version. There are monologues about fast food, boxing and obviously a double cross, and its horrible to watch.The characters are all stereotypical of this sort of movie, one has a heart of gold because of his past, one is a nutter, one is a family man, and one is ex forces who says a prayer before the robbery.Righto then. The supposed monologues are cringe worthy, the suits are something out of Buddy's Song, and there is a twist at the end, that irritates.Oh and there is a bent copper. There's always a bent copper.If I could put a scribing on the DVD cover, it would simply say 'pfft'.
What a waste of time, well 25 minuets! Actually i only got about 25 minuets in, and that was because i wanted to see if it could get any better! which just added to the disappointment! You don't even need to see it through to the end to see where it's going..Although I didn't bother waiting to find out where it went so i could be completely wrong about where it was going! But i didn't have 82 minuets to waste frankly.Personally if you've got nothing else to do and like to watch a mediocre British gangster/psychopath killer/??? type film then I'd recommend taking up reading!!!
